What follows is a list of route that are scientifically proven to be the best. Navigating campus and the greater Chapel Hill/Carrboro can be confusing and difficult at times. The UNC Marathon Team has been working hard since its inception to create a catalog of route that will make this task less daunting. Each week we will post routes with corresponding mileage for that week of training, of which, will be pulled from this list. While there are some other routes in the archive, this list encompasses the Team’s favorites! Routes rang from 2-22 miles. Happy running!
